Session: Fundamentals of Surface Reactivity I (2016 Annual Meeting)

641 Fundamentals of Surface Reactivity I

Thursday, November 17, 2016: 8:30 AM - 11:00 AM

Franciscan D (Hilton San Francisco Union Square)

Description:

The session is focused on intrinsic kinetics and reaction pathways on surfaces with studies on surface science, modeling and catalytic reactions. Specific topics include: adsorption of reactants; identification of transition states; electronic structure and geometry of catalytic surfaces; and development of experimental and theoretical methods.
